Answer 1

I think sic 'em is a BAD IDEA... I have had dogs for a long time, and I have never needed or used sic 'em...

Answer 2

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL5em

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

If you mean by 'sikkum' you mean you want her to be protective, that will depend alot upon her relationship with her family and how naturally protective she is. Dogs don't just 'sikkum' because they are trained to -- if she isn't protective, doesn't have the confidence and instinct to be protective, no amount of training will help. If she is then usually simply having a good relationship with you and being well socialized and confident in themselves goes a long ways. If you want her specifically trained for personal protection, you can't do it by yourself. If it is hard for you to figure out how to train a dog to do tricks like shake and roll over, then training her for personal protection would be beyond your skills or any you might gleen from internet suggestions. You might have to travel but she needs to be evaluated by someone who knows dogs to see if she is even potentially protective. At two months she should be learning to bond to you (not easily done if she is kept seperated from you outside) and become confident and familiar with 'her' property (house included) - she should be being socialized in a lot of areas so that she has confidence in all situations as well. It might take some effort from you to drive a distance to get to a proper trainer and class but it is worth the effort.

BTW, she hasn't learned sit and stay - she has offered you some behavior and you have given her a response that makes her do it again but she is too young to actually have learned much of anything, regardless of how smart she is. Training a dog takes consistant, repetative, rewarded behavior and cueing. Good luck!

There will be many good suggestions here so I will, oddly for me restrain myself......LOL

I just wanted to mention that SHAKE A PAW is not really a good thing to teach a dog. It can be cute BUT it gets used as a greeting so often that it becomes so automatic they can initiate it to get praise. I've seen dogs do that to smaller kids and bowl them right over. Thay can also, without meaning to, scratch a kids face doing it, or the bare legs of a lady in a dress or shorts, or the legs of a senior whose skin is thinner and heals slower. Please think about it, there are many things you can teach that both you and the dog can be proud of....good luck!

Answer 5

Here's what I did for my dog:

Roll Over: I had her lie down, then I took a treat and held it on her back hip, while saying "Roll over!" She flopped around all over the place trying to get at the treat and after about 30 seconds, she finally rolled over. Then she got the treat and lots of praise. I did this about 3 times and then she kind of figured out what to do. We kept going at it and after about 10 minutes she had the trick down pat.

Shake: I just had her sit and then I said "Shake!" Then I grabbed her paw and held it in my hand, and then praised her and gave her a treat. I did this over again about 5 or 10 times, then I started just holding my hand down and saying "Shake!" Eventually she figured out what to do, and she got lots of praise and a treat :-)

Speak: I just had her sit and I got a treat. I kept saying "Speak!" over and over again very enthusastically, I would show her the treat, sound really excited. She got really excited and eventually made a little noise with her mouth. I praised her and gave her the treat! Then we did it again, and she made a barkish type noise, she was praised and got the treat. After a few tries she started giving a real bark.

She doesn't know sick 'em so I don't know how to teach that, but a trick she does know that I really like is "Touch"

Whenever I hold my hand down by my side and say "touch," no matter where she is, she always comes and tags my hand with her nose. I started by just touching my hand to her nose myself while saying "touch", then I praised her and gave her a treat with my other hand. I did this over and over again, then I tried holding my hand down and saying "touch" without touching her nose myself. She came over and touched my hand (and promptly looked at my other hand for the treat!). I really like this trick because it was easier to teach than "Come" (for some odd reason) and it's also a good way for me to get her attention when she gets too excited.

ADD: You should also keep training sessions short and fun. When training my dog, if I notice that she's started losing her attention span, I'll give her a long break. Training a tired dog is just frustrating :-) At 2 months, her training sessions will probably need to be pretty short.

Answer 6

my puppy has sit and laydown right, he's 4 months old now and has been doing them since he was 2 1/2 months old. he sometimes gets them confused and lays down when we say sit. i'd say wait a little while... focus on what you have done and just keep repeating those two.... at the begining we started using hand signals, so our pit understands one finger up means sit down and our hand flat means lay down. [he lays when we say sit, but when the finger is also in tow he does what he's supposed to.]

most people will say wait till they're 6 months old to train them because they won't remember. in a sense it's correct, don't overload it. but it's not entirey correct, you can still teach your puppy a few things here and there...

idk how isolated you are, but there has GOT to be a place to take your puppy to for training, even petco has it. those things are everywhere.

Answer 7

Paw. you say paw and pick up their paw.
lots of appraisal
Roll over. It takes patience on you part. Have the dog down. not on their side. Take a treat and start in front of the dog and slowly take the treat over their shoulder, so they will follow the treat. They will lean on their side and just keep following through.
Speak. You have to wait till they are already barking. I just say speak, and do my own bark, so they know what you mean. They eventually will get it.

Answer 8

Why are you so interested in teaching your dog 'sickim'? Most dogs are protective of their owners anyway, you shouldn't need it.
One way of teaching shake I read about is to hold a treat in your hand, don't give it to the puppy until the puppy paws at your hand. As the puppy paws at your hand, say shake and give him/her the treat. They learn to associate the word 'shake' with putting their paw in your hand.

Answer 9

Your puppy doesn't have the attention span to learn any tricks right now. Wait until he's about six months old and show him what you want him to do. Go through it a few times and every time give him a treat or just praise him through the ceiling about how good a dog he is. He will want to do it for you.

Answer 10

A way to train your dog to Sikkim is like have a friend help you demonstrate so point to them and have them chase them roll over you can move your hands in a circle and say roll over. Shake paw is say paw and grab it and speak I'm not sure but someone else will tell you how.

Answer 11

basically you just work with her. make her do it over and over and reward her when she does it right. like, um, shake a paw. just say it to her then hold up her paw. um "shake" would probably be better than "shake a paw" but either way just keep repeating it and eventually she'll understand and you won't have to do it for her. not sure how to train the 'sickim' though. your on your own there. hope this helped.
